Summary

  • New POST /ipfs/upload endpoint that atomically pins files to IPFS and records quota in a single server-side transaction, replacing the previous two-step client flow (pin → record) that was prone to quota drift
  • Client-side upload refactor to use the new atomic endpoint with batch folder registration, simplifying useFileUpload hook and upload store state management
  • Quota guard with PayloadTooLargeException when upload would exceed vault storage limit

Changes

API (apps/api)

  • POST /ipfs/upload — multipart file upload with atomic pin + quota record
  • UploadResponseDto with CID, size, and recording status
  • Unit tests for upload endpoint including quota exceeded scenario
  • VaultService injected into IpfsModule for quota checks

Web (apps/web)

  • Upload service switched to atomic /ipfs/upload endpoint
  • Batch folder registration via useFolder hook after successful uploads
  • Upload store simplified — removed intermediate states
  • UploadZone and EmptyState components updated for new flow

Generated

  • OpenAPI spec and typed API client regenerated

Known Issues (documented in UAT)

  • Upload modal can get stuck if setSuccess() isn't called (fix identified, not yet applied)
  • Auth token refresh has a race condition under concurrent requests
  • IPNS resolve occasionally returns 502 from delegated-ipfs.dev

Test Plan

  • Unit tests for new upload endpoint (ipfs.controller.spec.ts)
  • UAT: 6/6 test scenarios executed and documented
  • Manual: upload single file, verify quota updates atomically
  • Manual: upload file exceeding quota, verify rejection

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a file upload endpoint with quota enforcement, atomic pin recording, and explicit upload response (cid, size, recorded).
    • Implemented batch file registration so multiple files are registered in a single publish operation.
  • Enhancements

    • Added a "registering" upload status for clearer progress feedback.
    • Frontend now refreshes server-side quota after uploads instead of per-file local increments.

Walkthrough

Adds a quota-aware POST /ipfs/upload endpoint on the backend and front-end support for batch file registration: new UploadResponseDto, VaultService integration for quota checks/recording, and frontend changes to upload/register multiple files with a new 'registering' state.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Backend DTOs
apps/api/src/ipfs/dto/upload.dto.ts, apps/api/src/ipfs/dto/index.ts
New UploadResponseDto with cid, size, recorded and re-exported from the dto index.
Backend Controller & Tests
apps/api/src/ipfs/ipfs.controller.ts, apps/api/src/ipfs/ipfs.controller.spec.ts
New POST /ipfs/upload endpoint on IpfsController using VaultService for checkQuota/recordPin, error handling (unpin on record failure); constructor now injects VaultService. Tests cover success, quota-exceeded, and pin/record failure flows.
Backend Module
apps/api/src/ipfs/ipfs.module.ts
VaultModule added to IpfsModule imports to provide quota services.
OpenAPI / Client spec
packages/api-client/openapi.json
New OpenAPI path POST /ipfs/upload and UploadResponseDto schema added (201, 401, 413 responses).
Web API Models
apps/web/src/api/models/uploadResponseDto.ts, apps/web/src/api/models/ipfsControllerUploadBody.ts, apps/web/src/api/models/index.ts
Generated types for upload request and response; models index re-exports IpfsControllerUploadBody and UploadResponseDto.
Web API Layer
apps/web/src/api/ipfs/ipfs.ts
New ipfsControllerUpload function, mutation options builder, useIpfsControllerUpload hook, and related types to call /ipfs/upload.
Frontend: folder service & hook
apps/web/src/services/folder.service.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/useFolder.ts
New batch operation addFilesToFolder and hook addFiles to create multiple file entries and publish IPNS once (collision checks included).
Frontend: upload flow & store
apps/web/src/services/upload.service.ts, apps/web/src/stores/upload.store.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/useFileUpload.ts
Removed per-file local quota increments, added final fetchQuota() refresh; upload store adds 'registering' status and setRegistering() action; useFileUpload treats 'registering' as uploading.
Frontend components
apps/web/src/components/file-browser/EmptyState.tsx, apps/web/src/components/file-browser/UploadZone.tsx
Refactored to use batch addFiles(...) instead of per-file addFile(...); set registering state around batch registration and removed per-file registration error accumulation.
Frontend IPFS helper
apps/web/src/lib/api/ipfs.ts
AddResponse type extended to include recorded: boolean; calls backend /ipfs/upload endpoint (path changed from /ipfs/add).

123-134: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Refresh quota even when a batch fails mid-way.
Right now the refresh only happens after full success; if any file fails after some uploads, UI quota can drift. Consider moving the refresh to finally so it runs after partial success too.

💡 Suggested change (refresh in finally)
-    // Refresh quota from server (authoritative source after atomic upload)
-    await useQuotaStore.getState().fetchQuota();
-
-    uploadStore.setSuccess();
-    return results;

     const message = (error as Error).message;

Use UploadResponseDto to capture the recorded field from /ipfs/upload response.

The endpoint returns a recorded boolean flag indicating quota tracking status, but the AddResponse type omits it, preventing callers from accessing this information. Replace the manual AddResponse type with the generated UploadResponseDto to align with the actual API contract.

🔧 Suggested fix
-import axios, { AxiosProgressEvent, CancelToken } from 'axios';
+import axios, { AxiosProgressEvent, CancelToken } from 'axios';

70-95: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Clear the registering state after batch metadata registration.

setRegistering() is invoked, but there’s no guaranteed terminal state on success or failure; if addFiles throws, the upload UI can remain stuck in “registering.” Add a success/error (or finally) transition to clear the state.

In `@apps/api/src/ipfs/ipfs.controller.spec.ts`:
- Around line 137-170: Replace the loose "as any" assertion on mockReq with a
proper Request-typed mock: create mockReq as a typed object matching
Express.Request (or Partial<Request>) that includes the user property (e.g.,
type it as Partial<Request> & { user: { id: string } } and cast to Request if
needed) so the spec uses an explicit type instead of any; update the mock
declaration referenced as mockReq used in the controller.upload tests to use
that explicit type.

- Around line 145-149: The current flow checks quota with
vaultService.checkQuota(req.user.id, file.size), then calls
ipfsProvider.pinFile(...) and vaultService.recordPin(...), which can race and
use mismatched sizes; instead, pin first to obtain result.size, then perform a
single atomic quota validation+record inside VaultService (add a method like
recordPinWithQuotaCheck(userId, cid, size) that validates using result.size and
records within a DB transaction), and if that method throws, ensure the
controller calls ipfsProvider.unpin(result.cid) to rollback the pin; update the
controller to use the new VaultService transactional method and remove the
separate checkQuota call so quota logic and record are atomic and consistent.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Make quota enforcement truly atomic and rollback on failure.

Line 145 performs a pre-check, then pinFile/recordPin proceed independently. Concurrent uploads can pass the check and exceed quota, and if recordPin fails the file stays pinned but unrecorded. Also, the check uses file.size while the recorded size uses result.size, which can diverge. Consider moving quota validation + record into a single VaultService transaction (using result.size) and unpin on failure.

🛠️ Possible rollback guard in the controller
-    const result = await this.ipfsProvider.pinFile(file.buffer);
-    await this.vaultService.recordPin(req.user.id, result.cid, result.size);

- Add rollback (unpin) if recordPin fails after successful IPFS pin
- Call setSuccess() after addFiles in UploadZone/EmptyState to dismiss modal
- Move quota refresh to finally block for partial failure resilience
- Add recorded field to AddResponse type to match UploadResponseDto
- Remove `as any` on mockReq in controller spec (lint fix)
- Add test for recordPin failure rollback behavior

77-96: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Missing store error state when addFiles fails leaves UI stuck in "registering".

If addFiles throws after successful upload, the catch block sets local error but never updates the upload store. The store remains in 'registering' status indefinitely, which can cause the upload modal to get stuck (as noted in PR known issues).

🐛 Proposed fix to reset store on addFiles failure
       await addFiles(
         folderId,
         uploadedFiles.map((uploaded) => ({
           cid: uploaded.cid,
           wrappedKey: uploaded.wrappedKey,
           iv: uploaded.iv,
           originalName: uploaded.originalName,
           originalSize: uploaded.originalSize,
         }))
       );

       useUploadStore.getState().setSuccess();
       onUploadComplete?.();
     } catch (err) {
       // Error is already set in upload store
       // Only set local error if not a cancellation
       if ((err as Error).message !== 'Upload cancelled by user') {
+        useUploadStore.getState().setError((err as Error).message);
         setError((err as Error).message);
       }
     }

Upload store stays in 'registering' if batch folder registration
throws, leaving the modal stuck. Needs setError() in catch block.
